Newly diagnosed

[CrazyCat1996]

Very nervous to be writing on here but I'm sure everyone will be really welcoming. I've finally got a diagnosis to my symptoms after tirelessly trying to prove to doctors that there was something wrong with me. I had to get an appointment at a private Gyny which set me back £200 just for the consult alone! I was finally referred for an MRI and that's when I got the diagnosis. I'm gutted as I've finally gotten into a great relationship where we want to start a family. Has anyone got expirence on here with conceiving with endometriosis?

Hi there. I have had endometriosis for many years though I was only diagnosed when I was 44.

I have 2 children, 20 and 13 years old and no issues with fertility. I hope this will help you stay positive. Good luck

Hi! It's so nice to hear so many positive stories with fertility. I know it's different for everyone but least there's light at the end of the tunnel! It would be nice to hear your expirence with it? 😊

Hello

Endometriosis can cause fertility issues, but many women have children with it too. Sadly gp and hospital won’t do anything until you have been trying for a year. Then they will do blood tests as a starter to check hormone levels and go from there. Unfortunately these things can be treated rather coldly by the health services. Good luck
